- Run the ball. At least enough to open up passing lanes for Murray and his receivers. We can move the ball against this defense as long as there are serviceable yards gained on the ground.
- Protect the ball. It's really the key to every game. But when you play a team like LSU it becomes vitally important. Win the turnover margin by 1 and we have a chance. Win it by 2+ and we might just steal this thing.
- Be more special. LSU's special teams stats are unreal. They've allowed SIX TOTAL YARDS ALL SEASON on punt returns. That's one example. That Mathieu kid averages over 13 yards per return. This game seems to favor a defensive battle. If it plays out that way, then we have to maintain field position by protecting the kicks against returns.

LSwho: gameday edition
The keys to the game (most of which have been stated numerous times for nearly a week):
SECCG - press conferences
In case you missed them on my live feed, here are Coach Richt and Coach Miles' pre-game press conferences in total. Don't forget, RIGHT AFTER the game you can CLICK HERE to get the post-game press conferences on the BDB Video Zone.*
*In case you are deep into the bourbon handle, you can just set your brain to go to the BerniesDawgBlawg main page and click on the SEC Video Zone page around the time the confetti stops falling around Coach Richt. Go Dawgs!
Your morning WTF? moment...
..Tulane smokes crack y'all.
Running backs coach Curtis Luper has interviewed at UAB and Florida Atlantic and receivers coach Trooper Taylor is in the mix at Tulane.
Former Bulldogs Support CHRIS Kids at Allstate SEC Good Works Day
A group of former University of Georgia football stars joined representatives from the Southeastern Conference and Allstate Insurance to lend their hands to charity as part of the third annual Allstate SEC Good Works Day in Atlanta on Dec. 1.
Planned in conjunction with Hands on Atlanta, the community service initiative benefitted CHRIS Kids, a local organization that provides safe and stable living environments and offers mental health services for children and families.
A pair of former All-American offensive linemen, brothers Matt and Jon Stinchcomb, teamed with former Bulldog quarterbacks David Greene and D.J. Shockley, defensive lineman Quentin Moses, defensive back Kelin Johnson, and several volunteers from Allstate and the SEC, including SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, to wrap holiday gifts, prepare lunches, paint murals and landscape the grounds at the CHRIS Kids facility on Fayetteville Road.
The Georgia football alumni share a unique bond in that all six players were selected to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team during their college careers for their commitment to service and volunteerism. Since the national award began in 1992, no conference has had more student athletes named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team than the SEC.
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive was also on hand at the event and spoke to the volunteers about the SEC and Allstate’s shared commitment to making a difference in the community.

Friday misery, chapter 12: from MARTA train to ENERGY BUS
Where are we? Right where we should be! Aimed for the Georgia Dome the first Saturday of December. It's been six long years, but Coach Richt has the energy buses fired up. As we stood waiting on those MARTA trains late September 3rd, who knew we'd be bouncing back down the connector towards downtown Atlanta?
To quote the legend: I gave up. You did too. We were out of it and gone. Miracle!
Tailback Who?
I know it. You know it. Let's say it together: We need our freshman RB on the goshdamn field tomorrow. But judging from the change in Coach Richt's demeanor Wednesday evening once reporters asked him about the tailbacks, even he doesn't know if his star tailback is gonna play more than the token snap or two. It was like the freshman had held that puppy up once more and the little teat sucker had pissed in the head man's hot chocolate. Damn son.
When it comes to running backs in silver britches Saturday there are two things that are certain: 1. DICKSAM4 won't be playing and 2. there will be a lot of drama as to who actually is playing, down to down. And that just frustrates the everlovin' shit out of me. We need #1's talent to have a fighter's chance. He'll definitely start. But given recent history, we can certainly expect to rely on Malcome, Thomas, Harton...Zander...the water girl...into the 4th quarter. You know, when the game tends to be on the line. And the championship could be in the balance.
You get to Atlanta in early December, you have to want the football. You have to want it worse than ol Grizzard wanted Kathy Sue Loudermilk to pucker up under the grit tree. Damn stright! That bad.
I've got three words for you Mr. Green Jersey: Prove. Us. Wrong.
Satisfaction
Wife says I have thin lips. But right now they feel fat and ready to rock. So much so I feel like struttin'.
I THOUGHT I would be satisfied last weekend by finishing the season off with a (ho-hum) win over our in-state non-rivalrous pimple pushers. I THOUGHT I would just cruise into this little SEC championship all relaxed and stress free. I THOUGHT my college football hunger would be satiated.
Wrong. We're at the end of the season and I only want more. We're down to one game, a month layoff and then the bowl game. It's practically friggin' over people!!! On September 3rd as I finally boarded MARTA headed north I couldn't wait for this day to come. Then the sucker punch that was the Carolina game only intensified my hatred for the 2011 tackle football season. Now...after 10 wins in a row...I wanna punch December in the nose. Get the hell out of here! Take down the tree and send the mall Santas back home. I don't want to feel jolly. I want to see the team come from the tunnel again. I want another trumpet in the southwest corner. Dare I say...I want to go back to Jax.
Don't tell me how white my shirts can be. Lester can't be a man cuz he doesn't smoke the same cigars as me. He chews grass. I can't get no Capital One Bowl. I want some sUGAr honey!
Pucker up Kathy Sue!
Go Dawgs!

L...S...WHO gave these students a YouTube account?
Considering the disaster that was "Party in the UGA" the previous not to be named song parody/motivational UGA video*, this is...not as embarrassing....??
Not to pick any nits, but two immediate things jump out: 1) it's LSWho, not L S U Who?...and 2) could our president's belt buckle be any higher above his waistline?
*I was reprimanded yesterday on Twitter for mentioning the name of the song/video. As if it's my fault Prez Adams gives each incoming student unlimited WiFi and a free YouTube account.
